A video of Mike Tyson's 1995 boxing fight has recently sparked conspiracy theories after it captured an alleged time traveler. The footage appears to show an unknown spectator recording the Las Vegas bout using a smartphone that was only made available in 2000.
What Makes The Unknown Spectator A Time Traveler
The Daily Mail reports that the controversial video of Mike Tyson's 1995 boxing fight against Peter McNeeley was first posted on September 2015 by YouTube user JammyBantam. It resurfaced recently after several conspiracy theorists tried to figure out if the unknown spectator is indeed a human time traveler recording the bout using an advanced smartphone.
In the video description, JammyBantam explained that the alleged time traveler is holding an object that appears to be smartphone that has a lens in the center. The YouTube user said that such device was not yet available in 1990s when the boxing bout took place.
"I dunno if it's a time traveler or not, but no one can explain what camera it is; a QV-100 doesn't have a silver bit on the right, and this camera doesn't seem to have a black line under the lens," JammyBantam shared.

Blogger Scott C. Waring republished the much-talked video of Mike Tyson's 1995 boxing fight on UFO Sightings Daily and seconded JammyBantam's claims that it is indeed a human time traveler. "Back in 1995 they did have phones, but they didn't yet have cameras on them," he wrote.
Why Would A Time Traveler Want To Watch Mike Tyson's 1995 Boxing Fight?
Some internet users claimed that it is highly possible that Mike Tyson's 1995 boxing fight in Las Vegas, Nevada could attract time travelers' attention. The 1995 boxing bout has gained international headlines because it was the first time in four years that Mike Tyson took the ring. It was also the top-grossing fight during that period of time.
But some are not convinced that the unknown spectator, caught on video using smartphone, is a human time traveler. Some conspiracy theorists claimed that it is an alien from an advanced technological civilization watching Mike Tyson's 1995 boxing fight. On the other hand, some detractors slammed the time traveler claims, saying it is just a boxing fan using an early digital camera.
